My forehead furrowed deeply. With a flat, expressionless face, I cast an intimidating gaze at the 5th elder, just as my husbands did. Meanwhile, everyone here was staring at the 5th elder with suspicious eyes.His actions were too much. He seemed to be saying out loud that he was on Thalia's side this time. Was he the traitor who had been hiding in the Celestial Dawn pack?Zaire suddenly brought his lips to my ear and whispered, "The 5th Elder has a daughter who once committed a huge amount of corruption. Because the daughter did not reveal the hiding place of the corrupt money that belonged to the Celestial Dawn pack, she ended up being sentenced to torture to open her mouth. Because of her high self-esteem, the 5th elder's daughter kept her mouth shut until the torture led to her death."I stared at Zaire for a moment and then turned to the 5th elder who was still standing straight. A very clear contradiction on his face was now slowly giving way to a feeling of nervousness mixed wi

Ruby stepped back slowly. The tears that had fallen down her cheeks she immediately wiped away roughly. She intended to catch up with Zephyr who was fetching mineral water for her. But what she got was neither Zephyr nor mineral water, but an ugly sight that pierced her eyes.A bitter smile graced her lips. Her gaze was still fixed on the two people hugging each other. Even after she was this close to Zephyr, Zephyr didn't notice her presence even though a few days ago he stated that her mate's scent was thicker than Thalia's. Then, what happened this time?With disappointment squeezing every part of her heart, Ruby turned around. Her steps were so fast that she just missed Isla who was in another hallway at the T-junction. Isla was about to greet Ruby, but she didn't have time to do so and ended up just looking at Ruby's back from a distance."What's wrong with Luna?" she muttered.Meanwhile, in another place, someone immediately awakened his consciousness. He immediately released h

"Luna... I... that..." she stammered. It seemed like she didn't expect to get an offer like this from me either. But just by seeing the smile on her lips, I had gotten the answer I wanted to hear."Of course, I'm not giving you the position just like that. You have to prove your worth first." I patted her shoulder, giving reassurance to her who was still speechless."I have heard of your contribution from Ms. Archer. Not only did you treat her, but you also helped with the tasks she had to complete. She mentioned you as someone who can take on the duties of a secretary. But remember, don't get ahead of yourself. You must still pass my selection."Zora suddenly got up, pushed back the chair with her feet, and dropped to her knees to kowtow to me. I was puzzled by her unexpected behavior. Suddenly, my pair of hands stretched out to help her up."Get up. Why are you kowtowing to me? The result will still be in your hands. I'm offering you the secretary selection, not giving you the posit

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I looked at my husbands in turn. They simultaneously looked at me and nodded confidently. There wasn't the slightest doubt there.I knew my relationship with my husbands had become closer over time, but I didn't think they would take my word for it. They didn't even ask for further explanation of my suspicions.'If you say so, then it's the truth.' Zacharias' words kept spinning in my head.It was true that I wouldn't lie to them and give advice that would harm the pack, but shouldn't they be more thorough even if the person giving the advice was me?Right now, at a time when the sun had yet to reveal itself and the sky was still settling into a deep blue, we were in the Black Shadow organization building, precisely inside the Alpha Kings' workspace. Darkness was creeping in except for this room as there was still a gap of five hours left before working hours started."Looks like we contacted him too suddenly." I stared at the flat object in my hand

Ruby Maverick POV"Do you have any other pressing schedules after the meeting with Alpha Theron?" I asked as I adjusted the buttons on the shirt around my wrist. My black hair in a ponytail swayed with the tempo of my footsteps.Adam glanced at the document in his hand. "Nothing, Luna. However, the documents in your office have been awaiting your attention."I let out a long breath. Without Adam telling me, I already knew. The documents kept coming. Every time I finished one document, two would come. It would be endless.Light greeted me as my feet made it down the open hallway. Still at a brisk pace for fear of being late, I turned my head as my ears caught the commotion. A frown rising on my forehead, I tried to sharpen my vision to see the people who were not far away."Zeph and Alpha Theron? Why are they there?" After sharpening my vision even more, I discovered the presence of someone who had been bothering me a lot lately."Why is Ms. Everhart there?" I turned my head to ask Ad
